I’m sure this must have been mentioned by someone else, so I don’t see why you don’t feature this bit of information (oh wait, yes I do) ,but you can SKIP not only the automated instructions, but the message of the person you called (since, after all, you do already know who you reached right?) by pressing 1.. if you hear a lady’s voice instead of a beep, try #.

I got an original iPhone two years ago and recently updated to the 3GS (I skipped the 3G). My voicemail gets tagged with relatively short automated message (just under 8 seconds) “At the tone please record your message. When you are finished recording you may hang up or press 1 for more options.”

thanks for addressing this. we have the same issue on one of our iphones. nobody at apple or att has any idea about this. i hope you can get to them. it seems completely random as to whose phone number these instructions show up on. again, thanks.
